Description

Bar named after the Vikings in this small town in A Coruña, near Santiago de Compostela. The Vikings did reach this part of Galicia, first raiding the coast in the mid ninth century, but the connection to the Vikings in this specific town is not particularly clear. It is more likely to be based on an international stereotype of the Vikings as big drinkers than a local response to heritage. Photo taken by Puk Faxe Sabinsky in 2014.
